Now that I've used the new BDAV 2014 for a little while, here's what I have noticed.
My settings:
I have everything except “on-access scanning” “active virus control” “submit suspicious quarantined files for further analysis” and “Antiphishing” turned off. So, all items under “General” are off, both items under “Advanced” are off. Everything under “Vulnerability” are off, All “Exclusion” options are off/disabled. “Chat encryption” and “data protection” are all off. “Auto update” is off. I do not use “Safego” or “Wallet.”
1. Auto update doesn't stay off. I like doing my own updates manually but over the last week Auto update turned itself back on 3 times all by itself. Why?
2. There are now 4 background processes running where in 2013 there was only bdagent.exe. Now there is bdagent, pmbxag, pwdmanui, and bdapppassmgr. I do not use any services other than AV, I would like to stop those unused services especially since they are turned off in the program options. I do not trust services “running in the background” when I have specifically turned them off in the BD program.
3. Autopilot turns on all by itself. Every time I open BD it is in autopilot mode then switches to user mode after a couple seconds. This is not acceptable. Has user mode been disabled? If so, Why?
4. The “Wallet” keeps turning itself back on all by itself. Why?
What’s up guys?
